Round Table with the Government of Serbia

The Fourth Business Round Table with the Government of Serbia

6. October 2010. 9:00 - 16:00

Serbia, Hyatt Regency Hotel

Organiser: EMG

Even though the first signs of Serbia’s economic recovery are visible, it is obvious that progress is insufficient and that Serbia has a long way to go to improve its living standard. Serbia faces a long recovery and the government still has many open issues to deal with and reforms to carry out, which are necessary for Serbia’s EU accession.
